A unique status match opportunity has recently appeared on Status Matcher. Club Avolta is a program offering shopping discounts worldwide. Elite status in the program comes with additional perks such as Radisson VIP Status, 25% off Plaza Premium paid lounge access, and Avis Preferred Status for members in select countries. You can match your status from nearly any airline or hotel for free to Club Avolta.
Here are the details.
What Is Club Avolta?
Club Avolta is an app that offers discounts and other benefits at duty-free shops and other locations worldwide. After downloading the app, you become a program member and receive discount codes for over 5,000 locations. The base discount is up to 5%, but you can get a higher discount with elite statuses within the program.
- Silver status: Earn 2,000 points and get discounts of up to 7%
- Platinum status: Earn 5,000 points and get discounts of up to 10%
Discounts apply to duty-free shopping, restaurants, boutique shopping, online collections, and more. Not every airport has discounts, and you must manually search within the app to see what is available.
Club Avolta also comes with many other perks, such as earning points with specific airlines, a limited status match to Radisson Rewards and earning points in Sweden and Switzerland, a 25% discount access to Plaza Premium lounges three times a year, a limited status match with Avis Preferred, and more.
How To Status Match To Club Avolta
Earning 5,000 points through the app is normally required to achieve Club Avolta Platinum status. However, nearly every airline program elite member and many higher hotel program elite members can match their status to Club Avolta — for free.
To initiate the status match, fill in this form with your name, email, and Club Avolta membership number. Then, select which airline or hotel program you are matching from. Finally, provide a photo of your membership card or account page showing your status and membership number.
If the match is successful, you will receive Club Avolta Platinum within three days. The status is valid for one year.

Club Avolta Status Match To Radisson Rewards
As first caught by Head for Points, once you match to Club Avolta Platinum or earn elite status with points, you can then match your status with Radisson Rewards.
- Club Avolta Gold to Radisson Rewards Premium status
- Club Avolta Platinum to Radisson Rewards VIP status
If you use your airline elite status or top hotel elite status to match to Club Avolta Platinum, you can then claim Radisson Rewards VIP. This, at least, will get you a complimentary breakfast for two on stays with the brand.
Club Avolta members can also earn 3X points per dollar spent at Radisson hotels, but only at properties in Switzerland and Sweden.
Steps to match your Club Avolta status to Radisson
Take the following steps to match your Club Avolta Elite status with Radisson Rewards:
- Sign up for Radisson Rewards if you are not already a member.
- Go to Wallet within the Coub Avolta app and take a screenshot of your name and membership status.
- Email your Radisson Rewards membership number and the screenshot of your Club Avolta wallet with your tier status clearly visible to loyaltypartnerupgrade@radissonhotels.com.
Club Avolta and Avis Preferred Status Match
Avis Preferred and Club Avolta have reciprocal status matches. Elite status members in one program can match to an elite status in the other program. Furthermore, as you can use your elite status with nearly any airline and many hotel programs to get Club Avolta Platinum, you can then transfer that status to gain Avis President's Club.
However, this opportunity may be limited to European, Turkish, and South African residents.
The following status matches are available:
- Avis Preferred Plus => Club Avolta Gold
- Avis President's Club => Club Avolta Platinum
- Club Avolta Gold => Avis Preferred Plus
- Club Avolta Platinum => Avis President's Club
Steps to match your Club Avolta status to Avis
All you need to do to match your status to Avis Preferred is select the Avis benefit in the Club Avolta app and click on the “Match your tier now” button. Either sign up for Avis Preferred or sign into your account. If you already have Avis Preferred Elite status, it will transfer to your Club Avolta account. Conversely, your Club Avolta Elite status will transfer to your Avis Preferred account.
Our Take
Club Avolta is a helpful app for getting discounts at restaurants and duty-free outlets, as well as other benefits. If you have elite status with an airline loyalty program or a higher elite status with a hotel program, you might as well claim Club Avolta Platinum for free.
Better yet, you can then turn around and claim Radisson Rewards VIP status. This will get you complimentary breakfast and other benefits on your Radisson stays outside the Americas. And the option to status match from Club Avolta to Avis Preferred or vice versa is also a nice benefit but not available to American residents.
What do you think about Club Avolta? Will you use your current Elite status to gain Club Avolta Platinum?
